I have yet to have confirmation that it doesn't make any modifications. I have double checked the code, but one never knows.)) The --dry-run switch will not report below a directory that is missing -- this I know about and is not a bug. If there are other problems, please create a directory where it does not work and tar it up and send it to me. Otherwise explain the exact senario in detail. TIA -paul
